I have been looking for a good ToDo manager for a long time. I was pretty dedicated to PTO (Put Things Off) for the iPhone, which focuses on simplicity. It allowed me to create a list of tasks, and decide each day if I wanted to do them today, or put them off. It was that simple.
While this method of managing tasks has its merits, I found that some of my tasks had more importance over others. Not only that, I found that, with the volume of ToDos I would sometimes manage to generate, PTO was unable to aid in my finding the more important tasks.
To resolve this issue, I moved to using PTO on my phone to manage the more pressing tasks, and using iCal to manage the long term tasks that I know I will want to deal with in the future.
This worked for awhile, until I found myself spending 10-15 minutes a day manually transferring tasks to PTO from iCal and vice versa.
Although I was ready to remain committed to my system, my girlfriend mentioned 2Do [iTunes Link]. A ToDo iPhone application that, with the help of a client application on my MacBook can keep my tasks in sync between my phone and my computer. This seems like the perfect solution. ToDo is available on the app store for $5.99 with a lite version that lets you try before you buy.
The application boasts features such as push and email alerts, recurring tasks, password protection (app-wide or per calendar), drag and drop arrangement, swipe to mark done, quick add, phonetic search (for the pour spellars), and many, and I do mean many, more features.
I am very impressed with the interface and usability of the application. Considering the features presented, the interface is kept intuitive and elegant. 4/5 Stars from me.
One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that, in landscape mode, you are presented with a calendar and can select a day and view all of the tasks due on that day.
I keep coming back thinking of more things I forgot to say in the video. So let me say this: while I covered a lot of features 2Do has to offer, I did not by any means cover them all. So purchase the app and see for yourself.
Check out the developers application website for more info.

I just can't seem to get sync to work. I've been to their website and see many people with syncing problems. I'd LOVE this app if not for the syncing issue.
